    Live for Love –An All Cocks Story (Book 5)
     By TM Smith
    Cover Art and conception: Jay Aheer of Simply Defined ArtSynopsis: 

    {Keep in mind that Live for Love is still a work in progress, so the actual synopsis seen here may differ from the final version} 

    Beauregard Boudreaux is a native of New Orleans Louisiana, born and raised, he never thought he would ever stray far from home. The untimely death of his first love left Beau lost, adrift, looking for a place as far away from the pain as possible. Initially, he came to New York to visit a friend, the city growing on him, so he decided to stay. His law degree keeps the LGBT shelter he runs afloat, but his bar is his baby.  

    William Richards grew up in Chicago, his family oddly normal and very accepting of his sexuality. Modeling paid the bills, gigs across the country as a model, male entertainer and a personal trainer giving him the opportunity to see the world.  He hasn’t experienced loss or pain as Beau has, the common denominator between them would loneliness. As All Cocks big, brooding bottom Connor, William has found friendship, family and an outlet for his craving to be more submissive than men of his size and stature usually are. 

    The two men are perfect for each other, their tastes and lives align and the writing seems to be on the wall. But Beau has a secret he shares with a choice few, a secret that not only threatens to keep them apart, it’s deadly.  Determined to keep a wall between himself and William, Beau fights the attraction, pushes William away every time he steps closer. Can one man’s determination and strength be enough to tear down a wall that holds back decades of pain and darkness? And if he can, will either of them survive the flood? 

    Note from the Author


    Live for Love is definitely a labor of love for me. Everything about this book is different, unique, for me at least. I was lucky enough to meet model Joey D and talk him into posing for this amazing cover that Jay Aheer mesmerized me with. There is an innocence to the cover that I love, it’s very fitting for the story. It begs the question, if you’re an online porn star, what exactly is innocent about you? Well, William will surprise you and teach you that innocence is something that goes beyond what you see on the surface. And Beau, lord give me strength, the man is spitfire… bound and determined to thwart every attempt William has to snag the big, burly Cajun. But why? 


    I’m looking at a late June, early July release for this one. The writing is coming along well, so Imight be able to release sooner.

    HELL ON HEELS by Anne Jolin
    Genre: Women’s Fiction Contemporary Romance
    Release Date: April 26, 2016
    — SYNOPSIS —
    I use people. Not in a malicious way, but in the way an addict abuses their substance of choice. People are my vice—men specifically. I crave the emotional high they give me with a unique and reckless disregard for my own well-being—eagerly floating into an unsustainable euphoria, knowing full well that after every high comes an equal, if not more powerful, plummet into a devastating abyss. But like every junkie, I crawl willingly back into the arms of my demons.
     
    Oh, the price we pay to feel loved. We’d all sell our souls to the devil himself for that. Perhaps I have already. 
     
    They say that acknowledging that you have a problem is one of the first steps to recovery. Well, in that case, my name is Charleston Smith and I have a fucking problem.

    — EXCERPT 

    “I’m ruined.” Kevin pouted, plopping down into one of the two patterned high-back chairs in front of my desk.

    Fishing my cellphone out, I dropped my purse into the bottom drawer of the massive and incredibly overpriced desk, and placed the palms of my hands onto its distressed white surface.

    “He’s so hot,” Kevin continued without delay. “I mean, I follow him on Instagram, but wow-ee! I want little blonde Abercrombie babies with him,” he rattled on, waving his hands in the air. “And Man Bun is like yum with a shot of dangerous, like you just know he’d wake up your neighbours. I’d like to call him Daddy—”

    “Jesus.” I shook my head.

    Kevin stirred, pulling his perfectly crafted eyebrows together. “What’s he doing here anyways? Are we planning one of his parties?”

    Beau Callaway was notoriously known for hosting some of the best campaign parties.

    “No. He’s expressed interest in sponsoring the Gala.”

    Uncrossing his legs, Kevin’s eyes softened as he leaned forward. “The Gala is this Saturday. Can we manage another sponsor this late in the game?”

    The emotions on my face war—they often did this close to the gala—and he noticed. Kevin was as perceptive as he was fabulous.

    “Right then. I’ll make it work.” He stood. “Want me to fetch the dream boat for you, boss?”

    I nodded. “Please.”

    Without another word, he sashayed out the door and my nerves filled up the space he left behind.

    I was nervous. Men in general made me nervous until I knew my way around them, but having someone like Beau in my space and here, regarding the gala no less, made me edgy.

    I didn’t often mix business with pleasure, as I was messy with one and not the other. Though it’d been nearly three months since my last duet with a man and I was jonesing for a high this close to the gala.

    The gala that honoured the memory of Henry.

    My addiction prickled at the back of my neck.

     
     
    — ABOUT THE AUTHOR: ANNE JOLIN 
    Hey y’all, 
    I was born and raised in Ladner, a small farm town just outside Vancouver, Canada. I grew up riding horses, shooting guns, and driving in trucks. 
     
    I never expected to be an author. A massage therapist? Yes. Take over the family construction company? Yes. But an author? No. Writing was something that snuck up on me and rooted itself into my life. It was beautiful to discover that love, and I’m truly grateful to say I’ve found my passion. 
     
    Since I’ve always been a creative person, it feels amazing to harness all of that energy and use it to tell a story I love. I enjoy incorporating bits of my real life into the stories I write. What parts are true? Hah. I’ll never tell—what would be the fun in that? 
     
    If I could leave y’all with one thing, it’s that life’s far too short to not live it out loud. Drown in your passions, hold on tight to the things that inspire you, and chase your dreams relentlessly. I can promise you without a doubt that you won’t regret it. I know I don’t. 
     
    Mad love, 
    Anne Jolin

    Fund Information:

    The Keith Milano Memorial Fund was established to help raise awareness about the devastating and deadly disease that is mental illness. Keith’s spirit and laughter is kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease.

  • Dare to Hope by TM Smith

    As of this installment, this is by far my favorite book in the series.  Gabriel’s loss of Gio, was heartbreaking,  One of the best things about All Cocks is that they are a family and they rallied behind him in his time of mourning and need.  Tristan counseled him, and Micah befriended him.  As time fled, and his grief lessened, the three of them formed a bond that even Gio could see from the heavens above.  Through this bond, they are able to get Micah through his battle with PTSD.  I really felt the emotions of each of this triad in my heart and found myself with tears in my eyes. 
    I have had the pleasure of reading Ms. Smith since the beginning of her writing career and with every book she writes, she grows and her books become ones I enjoy and look forward to reading. 
    Tristan is the second oldest of the Brennan brothers and the odd man out. Most of the Brennan men have careers in law enforcement, but as a psychiatrist, Tristan chooses to help people in a different way. Quiet and restrained, he is content to hover in the background of his more gregarious brothers. Then he meets two men, each broken and damaged from losses beyond their control. 
    Gabriel Simenson is mourning his lover’s death. The random act of violence that took Gio’s life has left everyone at All Cocks reeling. The only thing keeping Gabe from drowning in misery is the friendship he’s forged with Micah, the newest model at All Cocks. He continues to struggle, and at the urging of his All Cocks family Gabe agrees to counseling with Tristan under one condition: Micah t go with him. 
    Micah Solo can relate to unbearable loss, having lost his leg and so much more in Iraq. The past two years he has been alone, adrift and vulnerable — the memories of war haunting his dreams, spilling over into his daily life. At All Cocks, Micah has found the acceptance he craves and the family he lost, but still he yearns for happiness and peace within. 
    The friendship between the three is instant, the mutual attraction evident. They circle each other, wanting more, yet unsure if it is truly possible. Is life the mundane reality they’ve each come to accept for themselves or do they dare to hope? 
     The All Cocks Stories is a series set within the world of online gay porn. 
    *Warning* Micah’s PTSD is told in detail, including flashbacks to his time in Iraq.
